[PATCH v4 2/2] nouveau/dmem: Fix vulnerability in migrate_to_ram upon copy error

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Yonatan Maman <Ymaman@xxxxxxxxxx>

The `nouveau_dmem_copy_one` function ensures that the copy push command is
sent to the device firmware but does not track whether it was executed
successfully.

In the case of a copy error (e.g., firmware or hardware failure), the
copy push command will be sent via the firmware channel, and
`nouveau_dmem_copy_one` will likely report success, leading to the
`migrate_to_ram` function returning a dirty HIGH_USER page to the user.

This can result in a security vulnerability, as a HIGH_USER page that may
contain sensitive or corrupted data could be returned to the user.

To prevent this vulnerability, we allocate a zero page. Thus, in case of
an error, a non-dirty (zero) page will be returned to the user.
